Hi, 

 

I have got a windows 8 key and used it to upgrade to windows 10 but I really want to try and get back to windows 7 so I was wondering if my windows 8 key will work on a windows 7 installation. Thanks in advance :)

nope, it won't work. why do you want to go back to 7 tough? i mean, it takes a bit to get used to but 10 is a pretty good upgrade. especially with DX12 games being around the corner at this point!

aside from all the spying tough.

yeah i know. it's just the fact that it isn't disabled by default is just kinda bad imo :P

Yeah, well it is "free".

There's always a catch.

Which can be disabled.

There's a lot that's nice about Windows 10 - but the privacy contraventions make Windows 10 malware.
